To Hell You Go

When I opened my eyes again, I found I'd been reborn. I was back to a week before Elaine's untimely death. School was out, and Harvey had gone home to visit his mother because she felt unwell. He would only be back tomorrow afternoon.I was supposed to go on a business trip to Stone City in two days; I was the team leader. My boss had given the order that we had to return with the signed contract—if we closed the deal, we'd all get promotions and raises. But if we failed, the whole team would run the risk of being fired and losing our bonuses.In my past life, I'd pulled my hair out over this project. Our negotiation with the client had almost gone awry, and we'd had to duke it over food and drinks for three days before finally closing the deal.Though I was reluctant to leave Elaine after reuniting with her, I couldn't skip the business trip. Firstly, I had to be responsible for my team members. Besides, the bonus I got after closing this deal would make life better for Elaine and

Just then, my phone chimed. My assistant and team members were already waiting for me at the company. I didn't have time to consider the matter anymore, so I left it to the private investigator.After that, I left the house with Elaine and dropped her off at Lois' place. I headed straight to the company after that.Thanks to my past life's experience, the negotiation went smoothly this time. It only took two short days to get everything finalized. I hurried back to the company to report to my boss, to which he happily gave my team three days off.The private investigator was efficient. He sent me several photos. While I'd been away on my business trip, Harvey had gone out with a woman and a little girl. They looked like they knew each other well and were intimate.Harvey's gaze was filled with doting and affection as he looked at them. Anyone who saw them would think they were a happy family of three.The private investigator told me the little girl was Tina, and the woman was cal

How had Lindsey come into the picture, though?The reason I'd never taken her existence to heart was because I didn't believe Harvey was so hung up on his so-called first love. After all, he wasn't even willing to let others know of her existence at the time.He'd only been upset for two days after their breakup, after which he'd gone back to normal, seemingly forgetting all about her. He didn't even bother informing her when we got married.I clutched my phone tightly before texting the private investigator and telling him to find out when Harvey and Lindsey had reconnected. I wanted to know whether Harvey had transferred any property or assets to her.I scrolled through the photos, feeling pissed. I decided to teach them a lesson before thoroughly destroying them. I called my uncle, who lived in a nearby city. He was in construction and regularly crossed into gray areas. Some of his subordinates were young men who were "mentally unstable".I told him everything and asked him to

From that day onward, I headed to the hospital daily to "care" for Harvey. In truth, all I did was deliberately be affectionate with him and act coquettish around him. He'd probably never seen me act like this before and was happy to play along.Whenever this happened, Lindsey would think of ways to chase me away because she couldn't stand seeing us like that. Naturally, the burden of actually caring for Harvey landed on her shoulders.While putting on an act around Harvey, I also prepared for a property division. At the same time, I prepared to take Harvey to court in case he refused to get a divorce.One night, when we were having dinner, Elaine suddenly asked, "Do you remember the classmate I told you about, Mom? She's the first one Tina bullied. She later dropped out of school."I nodded. "Yeah, I do. What's up?""She contacted me today and said her father's back in the country. They want to invite us to their home as thanks for helping her!" Elaine held her head high and smil

After that day, I refused to see Harvey, no matter how often he came knocking. All I did was send the divorce agreement to his parents' home.Initially, he would write me long passages about how he loved Elaine and me. He also insisted he would never agree to a divorce. Later, he took a nasty turn and said there was no way he would leave without a penny to his name after everything he'd done for our family.However, his attitude did a 180-degree turn a month later. He didn't just agree to a divorce without a single dime—he attacked me verbally when we were finalizing the procedures. He admitted that he'd never liked my strong personality and didn't understand why I liked making a name for myself professionally when I was a woman.Whenever I returned home after a business meeting, he would wonder whether I'd closed the deal after sleeping with the client.Harvey also said Elaine was just like me, which was why he'd never liked her. He'd worked hard to turn her into an obedient a
